Doc Sust Karin DD question
Hello...I was reading an old post where you said you liked Karins DD, and I think you were modifying a shirt with her help. You also stated you haven't worn a Poly shirt since the mid 90's, 1990 for me. My last shirt was a Frantz single ply denim I bought in 1994, I still own the shirt! My last contest was 1998. I'm 5'8", my contest best was a [email protected] my last contest was a very light 165'er with 305. I'm training again after 10 years off.
I trained the Westside way, and I made my best progress. Never used bands or chains though. I stop lifting as they came in the loop. I never used my bench shirt until the day of the meet, and never had any problems finding my groove, and it fit pretty tight. Are the denim shirts that much different?? By what I read here and other places, it seems that I won't be able to just pull it out the day of the meet. Whats your opion on the differences between the single ply denim shirts of the mid 90's, and the Karins' DD, I mean, how much stronger are they? And what do you feel is the minimum amount of time I can wear a Karins DD in training? I like training raw, no matter what the exercise (boards, floors, etc). I always thought of the shirt as a bonus.
My goal is a [email protected] a 310 by this coming April.
thanks, Brian
